The studies are only being done now into what the real morbidity rate is. We know it's lower than the initial estimates and we've always known that. But nobody knows by how much, until proper studies are done.

The death rate isn't so important as the hospitalisation rate. We do know the hospitalisation rate is much higher than flu - but again we don't know by how much until proper studies are done. This is what makes it a serious problem.

The incompetent and opportunistic reaction of some governments is another story though.

Naw. The hospitals are mostly empty.

Like they say in the video. It's a hoax.

The reporter in the video cited figures from a LA county and University of California joint study.

The study results are in and the results are 0.1% to 0.3%, and that's including deaths counted with the recently redefined death certificate schenanagans.
